Chapter 18 – Love Entangled with Her Unconscious Husband Novel Free (Volume II)

Averie silently decided to never organize a gathering again.

Suddenly, she realized that Wesley was nowhere to be found and looked around. “Where is Wesley?”

“Elyette pulled him away.” Mike pointed her in the direction the men had gone.

Averie turned to see Elyette and Wesley at a table by themselves with the bodyguards standing next to them. There was a bottle on the table, and it appeared that they intended on drinking.

Averie scowled.

Wesley did not drink very often and his alcohol tolerance was not at all great.

“Two amateurs! Let’s see who goes down first,” Mike teased.

Averie suddenly remembered that Elyette could not drink as well.

“Averie, it’s a contest between the two men. Just let them drink!” said Mike, tapping her on her shoulder.

She looked up and shoved his handsome face away. “This is all your fault!”

“I will never get fooled by Chad again! Next time I will ask him to join us instead!” Mike swore.

“There won’t be a next time!” Averie walked toward Tammy.

Tammy raised her middle finger at Mike.

It had been a while since Averie had been in contact with Elyette or seen him, and because of Mike, they had met tonight. Seeing him only added to her headache and reluctance to cut all ties with him.

“Averie, congratulations on getting that money.” Tammy took a glass of juice and passed it to Averie. “Doesn‘t matter if you can actually get it back or not, at least you have fulfilled your dad ‘s wishes.”

Averie nodded. “Yeah, I intend on going to the cemetery to visit my dad tomorrow.”

“Sure! You should take the two kids with you… If your dad was still alive, he would have been overjoyed.”

Averie considered it for a moment and nodded.

Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller identification and went to the side to pick up the call.

After the call, she went back to Tammy and said, “I need to go out for a bit. I’ll be back soon.”

It was a call from Wanda, who had just returned to the country. She panicked after learning from her lawyer that James might face legal sanctions, so she called Averie hoping to meet her and talk things over.

The two met at a café near the hotel.

Wanda scanned Averie from head to toe. Averie still looked the same, but her demeanor had changed drastically. Her eyes were cold and distant. She felt unapproachable.

“Averie, I did not make my brother steal that money,” Wanda had taken the initiative and broke the silence. “How could I possibly want the Tate Family to fall after all those years I’ve spent with your father?”

“My father is dead. What‘s the point of playing the victim?” Averie exposed her hypocrisy right away. “I don‘t have much time to waste here with you, get to the point.”

“Let‘s settle this in private!” Wanda scowled, “I will find a way to return the money he stole from you! Had he not done what he did, both Cassandra and I would have a share of that three hundred million dollars. Now you can have it all, are you satisfied?!”

Wanda sounded as though she had granted Averie a generous gift.

Averie smirked. “Wanda, is your brother only worth three hundred million to you? I suppose some of your companies overseas must be doing quite well. There isn‘t a chance that we can settle the matter in private, unless, you can give me fifty billion, at the very least.”

“Fifty billion!” Wanda gasped and thought to herself, “You might as well just kill me!”

With a vicious expression, she clenched her fists. “Averie Tate! You are being too greedy!”

“Looks like this negotiation is a failure. We‘ll just go with the law!” drawled Averie and got up from her chair.

A fire was ignited within Wanda when she saw that Averie was leaving. She stood up as well and growled, “Wait! Fifty billion isn‘t a small amount! Let me think about it!”

“Since you are my stepmother, I will give you a day,” Averie said coldly and stepped out of the café.

Back at the event hall, both Elyette and Wesley were looking rather drunk after only having a few glasses to drink

“Mr. Brook, I heard that Professor Hough had a secret student,” asked Elyette casually as he poured Wesley another glass.

Wesley looked at him and flushed. “Where did you hear that, Mr. Foster?”

Elyette lifted his glass and touched Wesley‘s. “You only need to tell me yes or no, Mr. Brook.”

Wesley took a sip and responded in a troubled tone. “I‘m sorry, but I cannot disclose any personal information regarding Professor Hough.”

“Professor Hough has passed away. Besides, it‘s not like it‘s something to be ashamed of.”

“What if that person doesn’t wish to be found?”

Elyette beamed and said, “So, Professor Hough did have a secret student.”

The person Wesley was referring to had to be the mysterious student.

Wesley picked up his glass and took another sip.

“Mr, Brook, you are that secret student of Professor Hough, aren‘t you?” Elyette finally revealed his theory.

Wesley immediately spat out the wine in his mouth, and Elyette passed him the tissue box.

“Thank you.” Wesley wiped his mouth with the tissue, before explaining with a blush on his face, “Mr. Foster, I was just Professor Hough‘s assistant. I studied medicine as well, but I am nowhere near worthy of being his student. That‘s the whole reason why I was his assistant to begin with.”

“Really?” Elyette looked into his eyes as he tried to determine whether Wesley was telling the truth.

“Of course! Oh, right, haven‘t you already found Zoe?” Wesley changed the subject and said,” She is brilliant.”

“That, she is, but I want more options,” Elyette said in a low voice, “I heard that Professor Hough‘s secret student is a middle aged man, and I’ve sent people to find him. It‘s been two months since then, and I haven’t even found a clue.”

That was the reason why Elyette had decided to talk to Wesley.

Wesley was not sure if he wanted to cry or laugh. “So I’m a middle aged man to you, Mr. Foster?”

“I’m sorry, but I am at my wit‘s end.”

Wesley felt slightly impulsive after drinking and said, “Your information is wrong. Even if Professor Hough had a secret student, it wouldn‘t be a middle aged man.”

“Oh? So it’s a woman?”

Wesley pursed his lips but did not respond.

“Mr. Brook, can you just give me some information?” Elyette continued, “Name your price, I am willing to pay any amount for it.”

Feeling overwhelmed, Wesley was left with no options but to lay his head on the table in an effort to appear drunk.

When Averie walked into the hall and saw Wesley on the table, she was furious.

“That b*st*rd Elyette! How dare he get my friend drunk?”

She strode toward Elyette, and he turned abruptly to look at her when he sensed her approach.

“What is the meaning of this, Elyette Foster?!” She glared at him.

Flushed, his eagle eyes appeared innocent for a moment. He picked up the bottle on the table and showed it to her. The two of them had only drunk half the bottle, and he suspected that Wesley was only pretending to be drunk.
